PlayStation Network Gets A New Name

PlayStation Network Gets A New Name

None

A Terms of Service, User Agreement, and Privacy Policy update will be hitting the PlayStation Network tomorrow. This new update will essentially change the name of “PlayStation Network accounts” to “Sony Entertainment Network accounts.” Sony has assured us that this change is a change in name only. They are not asking us to change our username or password, nor will any of our information be reset.

An email sent out to several PSN users states:

This transition is based on Sony’s goal to enhance its unique digital entertainment offering. As a series of these activities Sony started last September, PlayStation®Network will be aligned with “Sony Entertainment Network.” This helps us get closer to our goal of establishing a global comprehensive network platform of services across games, movies, music and more, all accessible from one convenient account.



If you really don’t like the new name, you can decline the new Terms of Service and User Agreement, but as a result you will no longer be able to access your PSN—sorry, SEN—account.
